Bother. Two lines on the card.

Until I saw Peregrin Peregrin 's reply, I didn't even "get" what should be an obvious cultural reference! :rolleyes:
Hope you're feeling better ASAP, Frank! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

If I hadn't seen two lines on the card a month ago, I'm not sure I would have either. It jumped right out at me though. We managed to dodge the bullet until we made that trip to Italy.
 
I'm not sure what this means..but for you to use such a profane curse as 'bother'....it sounds serious.I hope all is well Frank.

I got it at this point.

No new knives today, but I bought a steel birdbath and an iron wheel which cries out to be a stick-stand. A lot of iron for $39 + tax. And I felt entitled to two end of season cookies. This guy sells off of his lawn and goes to Florida or some such place over the winter.

I did order an Ontario fire spax, and an Ontario Air Force survival sheath in case my Ontario Morta arrives without a sheath. These are all discontinued. I suspect Blue Ridge is just going to quietly continue the knives that Ontario was having made offshore, and let the rest quietly die.

The fire spax looks less silly at under $60.
 
That's my expectation, also. Else they would not have laid off all the workers.
They could move production of Old Hickory, say, offshore. [biting my political tongue] Keeping quiet is probably the best way to maximize the good will they bought.
I'm looking forward to that Morta. It's going to be the be-all and end-all, like the Utica Legend and the Buck Selkirk and the BPS Savage and the Ontario Bushcraft Field. Schrade H-15, Buck 119. Various Bruslettos, Moras, and Marttiinis. Gerber Big Rock. OT165...

I wonder what a pair of baldrics would cost.

I only just got it Gary! :rolleyes: I hope you're soon running around again Frank :) :thumbsup:
Happy Guy Fawkes Day!
Yay! 🎇:):thumbsup:

It's not yet dark here, but sounds a little quieter today, maybe they ran out about 2.00am this morning! o_O There's a Sikh temple near me, so I'll have to check when Diwali is this year! 🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇
